We should have caught most of my edits before the release.
It's a good example of why I was arguing for a serious testing period before
a release.
Another example is your adding a TAG: to all the msyslog messages at the last
minute. I have fixed quite a few of them. Bogus tags won't cause a crash,
but it looks sloppy and can easily be misleading if a non-wizard is trying to
use them for debugging. The TAG: stuff may have been a good idea, but doing
it at the last minute was poor timing. I hate the sloppy aspect. It just
makes us look bad.

What's on your must-do list for the next release? Should we keep that in the
top of devel/TODO?
